You may also notice that there
are no icons for network connections in
My Network Places or in
Network Connections, and you receive an
Access denied error message
when you attempt to start the
RPC (
Remote
Procedure
Call) service.

This behavior occurs if the Impersonate a client after authentication policy is defined for
a GPO (Group Policy Object) that is linked to the domain.

To workaround this problem:

1. Open a CMD.EXE window on the Windows Server 2003 SP1 computer that cannot join the domain.
